My Thoughts:

I have to say that I have enjoyed Alana's books  in the past so had high expectations of this new one. There was no disappointment. Although the plot starts off at a slow pace and there has to be some thought as to who and what the characters are up to, once that is done, there is constant suspense and action to keep the reader involved in this book. I must admit that once my attention was spiked, I could not put it down. 

The characters didn't take long to grow into my friends. They were realistic and well described. Lacy was one confused young lady who had a BIG secret, one that I can not imagine ever having! How she dealt with it, was a dangerous, frightening way. This situation had me wanting to give her a big hug as well as shake her to make her think! However, I also kept wondering how I would ever survive in a similar situation. Living with frightening secrets would be such a horrible experience. 

The plot once it gets going. moves at a quick pace with surprising and unexpected events appearing just when you think things are going as they should. My heart was in my throat at Lacy attempted to escape the situation.  The setting in rural Alaska was perfect for this story full of suspense. 

There is an underlying Christian message throughout this book, one that makes the reader think deeply. Events which seem unbelievable and so frightening, happen for a reason, in God's timing. We as humans,  don't always understand the wheres and the whys but we need to learn that that is NOT important. He has us in the palm of His hand at all times.

A great story full of suspense , love and deep fear!

This book was given to me. A positive review was not required. The thoughts and opinions expressed are honest and my own. 

About the Author

Alana is a pastor’s wife, homeschooling mom, self-diagnosed chicken lady, and Christian suspense author.

Alana’s passion for social justice, human rights, and religious freedom shines through her writing, and her books are known for raising tough questions without preaching. She and her family live in rural Alaska where the northern lights in the winter and midnight sun in the summer make hauling water, surviving the annual mosquito apocalypse, and cleaning goat stalls in negative forty degrees worth every second.

More from Alana

What’s the first thing that pops into your mind when you think about Alaska? Are you a city soul or do you prefer the country? I’m pretty happy in small-town Alaska, but I’m afraid that wasn’t always the case.
Have you ever lived in a town with 400 residents? Even with all the wide-open spaces, it’s enough to make some personalities feel claustrophobic.
I thought of our move to rural living as our big adventure. (Because what’s more adventurous than feeding chickens and milking goats at negative 40 degrees?) Then I read my first draft of Identity Theft and realized the adjustment wasn’t going as smoothly as I hoped. It was more autobiographical than I had realized!
However, I learned to love rural Alaska, and that’s the main reason I wanted to write my Alaskan Refuge Christian Suspense Novel series – so I could share some of my favorite parts with you.
Identity Theft is the first of three stand-alone novels, all filled with adventure, suspense and thrills, and all set against the backdrop of Alaska. I hope as you settle in to readyou will begin to experience a little of what I’ve grown to love living in this spectacular state.
